Connecticut Backflow Tester Certification Courses

32-Hour Backflow Initial Certification Class Schedule ($900)

Approval with DPH is pending, likely being deliberately stalled by the administrator, has been pending for 8 months now. Also Connecticut area courses are often unavailable to the public and very sparsely conducted, seems like the administrator is funneling the certification process and DPH should do an investigation into his activities with regard to this, sometimes people in the government do this in order to keep the number of testers low in their respective areas which drives up the price and makes the few companies that do the backflow testing work very profitable since the licenses are funneled, and possibly a profit opportunity for the person who coordinates this with local entities.

If you are seeking licensure for your own staff and not submitting the reports to water purveyors regulated by the DPH, so only for isolation preventers, you can likely just use our Massachusetts program. There is no material difference between the programs, only that the approval is funneled by the administrator in Connecticut. The Massachusetts program that we have been doing for about a decade is also approved in Rhode Island, New York, and acceptable as reciprocal in Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire.

How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Connecticut?

In Connecticut, backflow preventer assembly testers are regulated by the Department of Public Health, Drinking Water Section - https://portal.ct.gov/DPH/Drinking-Water/DWS/Backflow-Prevention-and-Cross-Connection-Control - we did have a previous version of our courses submitted and approved by the Department back in 2023, but we changed up our program and re-submitted it for another review. Currently our New England Region Backflow Tester Program is not approved by the state of Connecticut or acceptable as reciprocal to any of the local purveyors to our knowledge. There is more info about the Connecticut requirements in the above link.

If you are testing backflow preventers on your own services, like a hospital or school system, etc., you can often use our private or public courses with our Massachusetts or New York versions of the course and exams.
